That's like a $200 outlay, and if you think they give too much road feel, you can always sell them on here for near what you paid. You do need to make considerations though. The only way you're going to reduce the rubbing in the rear over bumps is an increase in compression dampening over stock. That's going to result in a (slightly) firmer ride. There's simply no way around it.
Thanks much. So would this look like my shopping list to completely refresh the rear struts:

Two B8 Rear Sport Shock, Mfg Part #24-120425
One Monroe 907984 Strut-Mate Mounting Kit (I assume the kit has two?)
BMW Subframe Bushing Insert Kit Rear - Whiteline KDT918

Does that look correct? Anything else? Thanks much.
